It’s Not About Me!
Confessions of a Recovered Outlaw Addict — from living hell to living big.
Well, it’s taken a long time coming, but here it is. This is a story that needs to be told — well, at least I need to tell it. I’m bound by my commitment to return the favour: the Spirit of the Universe deemed it appropriate for me to recover, so now I pass it on.
Paperback available on request — contact me.
THE BOOK READS IN 5 PARTS
From addiction to recovery
Addiction — the early years
Where it began, and how it took hold.
Addiction — the later years
The outlaw years: DJing globally, trafficking, and keeping the party going at any cost.
Addiction — the dying years
The game was finally over — choosing between life and death.
Recovery — rehab & the early years
What I did to stop — and more importantly, how I stayed stopped.
Recovery — onwards & upwards
The magical results that have occurred in my life since I got sober and began helping others.
There’s a formal explanation of the 12-step programme at the end of the book, as a reference for anyone looking for a deeper understanding of the process I recovered through.
